Walking around campus on any given Thursday night can tell you that Delaware Valley College's
campus is anything but dry. Should this be a next step for residence life? Dr. Elizabeth Arrison, Vice
President of Student Affairs, has "never been in support of going dr}-."
What, then, can this college
do to crack down on all the
illegal drinking? Answer:
Tougher sanctions. The regu-
lations on drinking alcohol on
campus cover sic and a half
pages in the Delaware Valley
College Student Handbook:
2003-2004. The sanctions cover
only less than one full page.
Howe\-er, these sanctions may
now have more impact than the
rules.
Se\-eral new punishments for
violating alcohol regulations
have been placed into this year's
handbook; Most noticably a
S5W) fine for the first offense
and a SI 000 fine for the second
time around. There is also a
mandator}- drug and alcohol
screening at the Counseling
Center along with parcntia no-
tification.
Cabinet members decided
late falll and early spring of last
year to add these new penalrie'^
in the 2003-2004 handbook.
The cabinet meets to "h;i-li
out issues," and lately alcf)h
has been a major one. Thty u.^i-u^^cti \i ihc current
sanctions were effective and if a change should be
made.

Arrison said the students' per-
spective of the punishments at
the rime was a "slap on the
wrist," and they decided that
"stricter sanctions would have
an impact."
Enter: student reaction.
Arrison says that right now
manv are testing it, and some
are "scared." An exact number
of fines handed out is unclear,
currently, becuase the whole
process of receiving letters and
having a hearing can take up to
and f)ver one and half weeks.
Some students are con-
cerned about the reaction oth-
ers will have. "It has deterred
people from drinking on cam-
pus, but not from going off
campus. ..and driving them-
selves back," says Sophomore
Amanda Rushinski.
.•\rrison says anyone doing
an "illegal activity in
public. ..runs a major risk."
Arrison is adameant that
scanctions alone never work.
Sanctions are "just the punish-
ment end of it,"
II cannot be the only thing we do."

On September 1 1, 2003, Resident Advisors
Calhoun organized a vigil to commemorate those
The candle lighting cer-
emony, which was held directh
outside the student center gave
students the opportunity to
share their own feelings about
the grim day. Nearly 200 stu-
dents turned out for the event,
as well as several student life
staff members, security offic-
ers, and a local EMT squad.
"I thought it was nice that a
large group of people came out
to show their support and honor
the victims and support the
cmergenq- workers who do so
much for us e%-ery'day." state< i
Senior RA Abby Gordon.
TTiroughout the event, the
ILA's encouraged students to
share their own personal 9/1 1
experiences. For some, the trag-
edy hit close to home and thev
recalled how their town worked
diligendy to help the victims
and their families.
"My mom was called down
tf) the harbor to assist families
who were transported from
Ncu- York to Nevi- Jersey and
helped with injuries," stated
sf)phomore Tracey Nfarrazzo. She wt
Rob Baiada, Nina Wolfarth, Abby Wilson, and Rence
lives which were lost during the September 11 th tragedy,
plain, "My best friend and i
helped take down names and
reunite people with their fami-
lies. TelUng people that their
husband or wife didn't make it
was the hardest think we ever
had to do."
For others, the day reminds
them that the aftermath of Sep-
tember 11 is still occurring.
Students reminded others that
there are still thousands of sol-
diers currently fighting over seas
t( ) make our nation a safer place.
In addition to the number
I )f stories shared with the crowd,
Nina Wolfarth beautifully sang
our national anthem as the EMT
squad lowered and folded the
flag.
The evening showed llie
college communit)- that no one
will forget the tragedy of Sep-
tember 1 1th. It has become a
part of all of our lives and de-
sciTCS to be remembereil wnA
honored ever}' year.
The event was truly antl en-
lightening experience for all
those who attended the vigil.
iln|Klull\, this commemoration will continue for
^.»^S^'
years to come.

getting "lacked Up" witli many

helped ever\-one to work as a
team to accomplish all of the
tasks that Jack was assigning.
Even though some of these
tasks were comical and con-

the main purpose was to make
friends with fellow freshmen.
It was fun getting to know ev-
enone who was in your group
and to do such strange ant
amusing games with them.
I'Aen though jack-tivides came
to a halt due to die weather,
man\- friendships were made
here whether it might be a
friendly "hello" while walking
to class or a true friendship that
will last a lifetime. Thanks to
the NSAs and everj'one who
made |ack-ti\aties possible, the

ferent dining experience.

For twelve students and two
advisors, this year's spring break
was no break. Instead of head-
ing to Cancun for a week of
part\'ing, they opted to volun-
teer their time working for
Habitat for Humanity in
Wilmington Delaware. In
additon to the 30 plus hours of
volunteer work, the students
also raised money to donate to
the habitat families. Students
worked in three teams. One
group found themselves ded to
a roof of a nearly completed
house, another spent
rhcir week putting up walls to
an emerging foundauon, and
the last spent their time follow-
ing plans to construct walls.
After the working daj- was com-
plete, the students would head
to the local YMCA for dicir
daily shower, then the\- would
head back to the place thcv
would call home for the next
five days, a two hundred \x'ar

huge success. Much handwork and
dedication along with manv artistic
skills helped mold Fright Night into

dents spent the
weekend helping

was with crowd
control, haunting
the haunted
house, driving
tractors.
or hiding out in the tlelds ready to
pounce on unsuspecting passengers
on the ha\Tide.

On December 7, 2003 students
who are commonly seen in
sweatpants and jeans were magi-

dressed in suits and beautiful prin-
cesses dressed in gowns. The
winter semi-formal was held in
what is normally the APR. But on
this enchanted evening it was iden-
tical to a dazzling ballroom. The
gorgeous colors, decorations,
lights and
water fountain
made the stu-
dents feel as if
they were danc-
ing the night
away in a dream
land that could
only be out of a
fantasy.
Mj'stic Moonlight was success-
fully coordinated and brought to
life by Steve Byzek with lots of
help from his committee and
members of the Student Govern-
ment Board. Momentous
amounts of time and effort made
Mystic Moonlight possible. Be-
cause of all the hard work, faculty',
staff, students, and guests were
able to enjoy great food and great
music as they danced with friends
through this spellbinding atmo-
sphere. This night will forever be
in everyone's memories and
hearts.
Once again, a special thank
you to Steve Byzek, the commit-
tee and the Student Government
Board.

A-Day
"VC'e've gone back to our
roots," said A-Day chair Jason
Smith at a student government
meeting. A-Day member Ashlev
Love added, "^"e are remembering
tlie point of A-Day. It's not about
tood or crafts, it's about agriculture.
It's about sho\\-ing off all Del \'al
has to offer. It's about learning,
.md somehow over the year's, that
has been lost."
This year's A-Dav exec team
took A-Day to a new level, adding
exhibits, the turkev hill cow, a fair
booklet and much
more. In addition
to the new
features, A-Da\
was recognized
this vear as a
Pennsvlvania
national fair.
Along with the
changes came a
complete revamp-
in? of the food
tent. The A-Day exec team an-
nounced that all food would be
under one tent and all payments
would be cash only as opposed to
traditional ticket taking.
The weekend began off beauti-
fully, a bit chilly, but the sun shined
all day. Each hour of the dav was
jam-packed with exhibits, shows, and
entenainment. The team made sure
the public was aware of the different
forms of amusement through
announcements from the informa-
tion bootli.
Unfortunately, the weather did
not hold up all weekend. Sunday
was cold and rainv. However, the
bad weather did not discourage
the public to come out for the
event.
.\11 in all, A-Day was a
complete success and the exec
team is looking to futher improve
the event for the next vear.
'The best part about A-daj is the
after party, all that work reallj seems
to pay off in the evening hours... ''

Resident
Advisors
Year round, the resident advisors work
diligentl\- to make the residence halls fun
and enjoyable...
On August 15, this year's residence life
team came together for a week of intense
mental training. The residence ad\-isors were
greeted bv a whole new team of area coordi-
nators with new and innovative ideas to make
the campus even more enjoyable.
Not onlv were there new faces in the
professional staff, but about sixt}- percent of
the R-.\'s were alone to the job.
Mike Bergels, director of residence Ufe
said, "there is a reason why there is a whole
new staff" Mike was eager to introduce his
staffs to the residence halls. "It's a new year
with rules and new sanctions," he told his
staffs during training.
With the changes came a change of format
for training. This year the RA's endured a
longer, more information filled week. Al-
though training was certainly intense, the RAs
and professional staff made room for fun
icebreakers and lots of joking around.
The IL\s certainly had a blast working
together with residence life to create a year full
of f\in and exciting memories.

With the scoop of a single shovel of dirt, construction began on
a new residence hall this school year. The new hall will house 200
students in the fall of 2004 and over 300 in the fall of 2005. Once
construction is finished, older residence halls such as Wolfsohn and
Elson will be taken off the line and refurbished; we all know how
much these halls need refurbishing. The new hall will have four-
person suites and two-person suites. All suites will be fully carpeted
and contain their own bathroom. There will be laundry facilities at
each wing of the hall as well as a lounge on the first floor which will
serve as a meeting area. A fitness facilit}' will be available for students
who choose to live in this hall. A 24-hour security guard will be on
dut\- to keep watch over the new building. The price to pay for a new
hall isn't just monetary. From the gas lines that were hit during
freshman move-in, to the 5 a.m. mornings and never-ending noise
resonating from the construction area, everyone on campus has been
touched by this project. Some may consider this an advancement to
be a nuisance, but we all know the finished product will be a new staple
of DVC Pride...

learned one thing during my own personal "jour-

can ever prepare us for the future. Winston (Churchill
once said, "This is not the end, nor is this the
beginning of the end, perhaps instead, it is the end
of the beginning." Go forth with the knowledge
\ou have gained, and good luck with your fumre
endeavors.

I never expected to gain the familv and friends that
college would send mv wav prior to entering Del ^'al.
However, now that mv time is up, I can't imagine life
without them. We have been through mj much
together. From helping each other through 9/11 and
remembeiing it each \ear to sending our friends off
to war, we have bonded more than I thfjught pos-
sible. I trulv believe from the bottom of my heart that
none of us would be who we are had Del \'al not
entered our lives. \X'e may not alwa\s have seen it
that wav, but looking back, I value e\en- experience
we've had. So, I embrace those changes and wel-
come the next to come. Remember, if you do what
\ouVe done, you'll onlv get what you've got. Good
luck to you all in the fumre and God bless each of

~Anonymous
I recall my middle school years, specitlcally the conclusion of the 7''' grade. My fellow classmates and 1 were extremely
eager to be entering the 8 grade. 1 remember many were thrilled to be nearing the end of our middle school careers, others were
eager to "rule the school." Personally, I was excited to join the 8* grade yearbook staff. Ha! Little did I knov\ that the simple yearly
publication would consume ALL of my free time. After school, I'd literally n.m to my history classroom, where the yearbook was
operated. From 3PM to 5PM. Monday through Friday, I'd sit at a desk measuring pictures, cropping, cutting and pasting layouts.
The final publication was awesome and I was thrilled that each S"" grade student would forever hold the memories of their childhood
in an 80 page hardcover. Though it was incredibly time consuming. I would never have traded the experience. Then at club and
organization night, my friend Tess and 1 were presented with outstanding leadership in yearbook club. 1 w as ecstatic to be recognized
for such an honor.
Three years later. 1 found myself preparing for my second yearbook publication. Again, only graduates were able to work
on stafl". However, my high school offered a precursor, "Yearbook I" class. There, we learned the basic techniques for creating a
yearbook, measurement in picas, layout design, and programming features. Again. I showed incredible interest in production and
was asked to be Editor in Chief for my senior class yearbook. For a second time, 1 was not eager to "rule the school", 1 was excited
to rule the yearbook.
Through excellent advisorship, I was able to learn the ins and outs of yearbook production. Once again, the yearbook
became my life. At ail times, I carried a camera in hand. J will admit, my high school publication was less physical work than my
middle school, however important deadlines made the production highly stressful. We finished the yearbook with time to spare.
It was completely revamped from the previous year, new layouts, new themed graphics, and of course two extra signatures of color.
1 had the same feelings towards my senior yearbook as I did my 8"' grade book, each was a record of memories for the graduates
to keep.
Then came Del Val. I swore to myself that my yearbook days were over, but as you all know . that was simply not the case.
In fact. I wonder if my excitement has grown since my earlier yearbook days.
When it came time to start planning for this year's yearbook, I began stressing over theme choice. I remember discussing
its development with my cover editor Frank Fasanella in mid March. Suddenly, he shouted, "1 got ill... Putting It Together]" From
there, we contemplated other concepts that could be featured in the book that related to the theme. We soon realized how well the
theme applied to Delaware Valley College. Administrators, faculty, staff, and students are constantly combining their efforts for
the improvement of this institution. The Cornucopia knew that it was important for us to finally capture this concept of
"togetherness". Thus, as you may have notices, there are many spreads that show the school working together for a common goal.
Over the summer. I developed the
layouts for this year's book and sifted
through thousands of quotes to tlnd the
perfect ones to place on the divider sheets.
Our eerie opcniny quote uas actually not
taken from a alumni ol Del \al. In fact, a
man who lives in South Georgia, with no
relationship to the college, spoke of his own
relationship withm a Christian community.

It was certainly a blast "putting together" this book. I
would like to thank a number of people for keeping me in line,
making sure I made it to scheduled photos, and helping me with
all types of production. First, to the Administration, Faculty
and Staff; You keep this institution moving, without your facili-
tation and guidance, none of us would be able to achieve our
goals. To the Student Government Board, especially the exec
team. Harry, Scuba, Julie, Krystal, and Karol and the class of
2004. Tim, Meredith, Jess, Andrea, and Kristi: Thank you for
all your support over the years. Your small contributions made
a huge difference. To all Club & Organizations, and the RA
staff: Thank you for being so accommodating to all my photo
needs. You guys are the best! To Mrs. Donigan, Jim Linden,
Mrs. Klassig and Mr. Lawrence: Thank you for all your
support. Your help and direction keeps me focused. To the
Cooke girls: You all have affected my life is such a wonderful
way. I cannot thank you all enough for all your support and
sympathy! You are my girls! To my friends: You are my life
support. Thank you for putting up with my unfocused, crazed
life! To my Roomies, past and present: Thank you for sticking
by my side through all the rough times, for playing spades during
the early hours, and for listening to my silly stories. Thank you
for being my secretaries, even though you truly never knew where
1 was. To my staff: Matthew: you certainly can write up a storm.
Your captions made this book fun and intriguing. Not to mention,
you always make me smile! To my Berk girls, Jen, Janelle, and
Lauren: Thanks for always being there for all the odds and ends.
You all were my lifesavers. To Lee and Colby: I knew during the
production of your first layout that you both had an excellent eye
for cropping and picture placing. I am confident that your
strengths will only improve over the next three years. To Katie:
Thanks for taking care of things for the past two years! Noelle:
My little Del Val paparazzi, 1 knew the day I met you and your
mother during freshman move-in that you would be my left hand.
Good luck! Kristi: Love, 1 cannot thank you enough! You kept
me in line, you kept me sane, you saved my butt, and you helped
me more than you will ever know. You are amazing, never forget
that! Frank: You and I share the same outlooks (most of the time
©). You tnily made this book unique. You have so many
amazing ideas, I just wish 1 was able to execute them all! I love
you! And finally, to the recipients of this year's book: Keep
your memories in a safe place, lock them away in your heart and
mind and never forget them. -Alicia M. Gn'sko
